Yahoo News Drag Star Jimbo Signs With WME and Producer Entertainment Group (Exclusive)
Jimbo — the drag star and designer who won season eight of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars in July — now has full Hollywood representation. The performer has signed with WME and with management firm Producer Entertainment Group (PEG).
Hailing from Victoria, British Columbia, Jimbo first competed in reality TV on Canada’s Drag Race as well as RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs. the World, before joining the cast of Paramount+’s RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars. Jimbo’s win marked the first time that an international performer prevailed on the competition show.

“It feels so good to have all your hard work pay off and have someone look at what you’ve created and give it this type of acknowledgment — especially when there are so many people in [the] world right now telling you right now that you can’t and shouldn’t do what you want to do,” Jimbo told People in July after his win. “I’m just so, so excited to celebrate for all the weirdos out there!”
He has since fronted his own WOW Presents Plus original series, It’s My Special Show, which premiered in August and included celebrity guests and street interviews in Hollywood.
Jimbo, a self-proclaimed “drag clown,” is also the founder of House of Jimbo, which comprises a clothing brand, special-events production outfit and merchandise retailer, where items include hoodies and mini-dresses featuring the collage print the drag queen wore for the RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars finale.
Jimbo’s world tour, titled Jimbo’s Drag Circus, has 35 dates scheduled in 2024, and the performance artist is also working on their debut album.
Producer Entertainment Group, whose clients also include Trixie Mattel and Jinkx Monsoon, earlier this year produced the Drag Isn’t Dangerous telethon, which raised more than half a million dollars to fight anti-drag and anti-trans legislation.
